SECTION I. 



PURCHASING, PACKING, FORWARDING, AND RECEIVING 

 TREES, GRAFTS, &C. &C. 



Purchasing Trees. What has thus far 

 been written, will, we hope, prove serviceable 

 to those who purchase trees at the nurseries. 

 For the benefit of persons who have little 

 experience, we will now recapitulate, and add 

 some further general directions for buying 

 fruit trees. 



1. Do not buy of pedlars or irresponsible 

 persons. Such dealers may offer you trees 

 which have received exposure sufficient to 

 cause their death, before they are put into 

 your hands ; or the trees may be labelled as 

 one thing, even when the vender knows them 

 to be something else comparatively valueless.
